  Some of this is misconception. True, you can only use the business 
features like invoicing when on the accrual basis << this perhaps should 
be addressed -- not only do many organizations keep books on the cash 
basis (but would like to be able to produce invoices for members) but 
some businesses by tradition/law use cash >>. But otherwise you can most 
certainly specify either cash or accrual.

And for those asking about setting up books but finding the "templates" 
do not match their needs the solution is simple. Just set up your CoA 
the way you need it or your accountant advises. You do NOT have to use 
any of the templates.
